automatic client configuration

[Frank Thieme]

so, after some reading wlan-ng scripts and initng scripts I hacked
something together to get the same auto configuration feature as wlan-ng
has.

For all the others like me:

in /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf edit

device "hostap_cs"
   class "network" module "hostap", "hostap_cs"

in 

device "hostap_cs"
   class "wpa_supplicant" module "hostap", "hostap_cs"

That will start /etc/pcmcia/wpa_supplicant instead of
/etc/pcmcia/network on card insert.

now if you followed the wpa_supplicant instructions to insert some lines
in /etc/pcmcia/wireless remove them. wpa_supplicant will be started from
the script

now place the script in /etc/pcmcia 

So things like WEP/WPA will be handles via wpa_supplicant. The script
gets the currently attaeched ssid and sets the pcmcia scheme to include
the ssid. Then /etc/pcmcia/network will be called and you can edit
network.opts to you IP configuration, you even can start your vpn or
such in there.

case "$ADDRESS" in
*SSID,*,*,*)
...

selects the right SSID

have fun...

Bye...Frank
